Ringsorter

The basic design of the ring sorter consists of several spoke-shaped belt conveyors arranged around a vertical axis of rotation (spoke belts). The turntable with the belt conveyors rotates continuously at an angular speed of approx. 1.5 revolutions per minute. The sorted goods are fed onto the spoked belts via a tangential feed above the plane of rotation. There they are conveyed to the outside and stopped in the edge position in order to be discharged into the end position at the right time. Cf. rotary sorter.
